This is crazy I just stumbled upon this company earlier today via search when I realized that Aurora Postgres Serverless V2 no longer allows you to scale down to 0 in times of low usage. AWS makes you select 0.5 ACUs as the minimum for V2 where with V1 you could select 0... is this just a straight up money grab by AWS to make the minimum monthly cost for aurora like $50 or is there a justifiable reason behind making you run virtual servers continually when there is no usage. I may be switching soon!
- ko_pivot 2y agoI'm guessing AWS simply did not build reading/writing the current DB state to/from S3 into Aurora Serverless v2. Neon has done a ton of work to make scale to zero happen in terms of treating the actual database disk as nothing more than a cache.
